MECHANICAL MOTOR FOR CHURNS, 800.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 232,552, datedSeptember 21, 1880. Application filed March 2, 1880. (Model) To all whomit may concern.-

Be it known that 1, MILLARD FILLMoRE SEARS, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Oarlisle, in the county of Eaton and State ofMichigamhave invented certain new and useful Improvements in MechanicalMotors for Ghurns, 85c. and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to lettersor figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecification.

This invention relates to certain improvements inmotive powers forchurns, washingmachines, and other similar machines; and it has for itsobject to provide for readily and conveniently separating the parts ofsuch a motive power, whereby the parts of the ma chine may be removedfor cleansing or other purposes, as more fully hereinafter specified.These objectsl attain by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure l represents an elevation of my improvementas applied to a churn. Fig.2 represents a view, partly in elevation andpartly in section, of the motive power, and Fig. 3 a detached view of aremovable or detachable bearing forming part of my ap ')aratus.

In the drawings, A indicates a churn-vessel, from the upper edges ofwhich extend the standards B, to the extremities of which are attachedthe crosspieces 0, provided with bearings I) for a horizontal shaft, E,carrying a beveled-gear wheel, F, and operating-crank Gr. ()ne of thecross'pieces C is provided with a downward extension, H, having arectangular slot, 1, forming a seat for the shank K of a detachablebearing, L, in which is journaled the upper end of the vertical shaft Mof the machine. The said beveled gear wheel is adapted to intermeslrwithone or more beveled pinions, N, secured to the working parts of thewashing or other machine, which are carried by the shaft M, so that whenthe bearing L is detached the entire working parts of the machine may beremoved without trouble or inconvenience for the purpose of cleansing orfor repairs. l

t The cross-pieces in the present instance are illustrated as bent toone side, in order to bring the bearing L to the center of theapparatus; but it is evident that said pieces may be made straight andthe standard set to one side without departing from my invention.

The shank K of, the bearing is provided with a transverse opening, 0,through which an interlocking-pin, P, may be passed to secure it inplace.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patcut, is-- 1. In a motive power for machinery, the

combination, with the bearings of a hol'izontal shaft carrying a beveledwheel, of an extension having a rectangular seat and a bearing adaptedto fit therein for a vertical shaft carrying the operative mechanism ofthe machine, substantially as specified.

2. In combination with the standards B of a machine, the cross-pieces O,and journals D, the extension H and bearing L, having a shank, K,adapted to fit in the slot in said bearing, and the locking device forsecuring the bearing in its sea-t, substantially as and for the purposesspecified.

In testimony whereof I afl'ix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
